The press conference will take place at Comerica Park in DetroitI guess that's where the Winter Classic is next year...?

I wouldn't be a huge fan of it but it would make a lot of our dumbass fans happy.

I don't like our chances of finding a trading partner once the franchise tag is applied, and if that happens, the fall-back of giving DeSean one more year has a lesser chance of working out once he realizes the Eagles were trying to trade him.

Btw are you going to be updating the career's of the players gone pro?
Of course. A player tracker of sorts will be created once senior year is finished, and then we'll all be in the NFL, following along one year at a time.

The longer they wait, the higher the potential they lose some FA's. Take your time, Saints...take your time.
Word. I want in on the Colston sweepstakes.
-
Should be Ware, Kiwi and Fletcher... easy.
You can see why I put Ware at WILL and not SAM, I hope. Robbing Kiwi of a spot would have been tough but a head-to-head match between Brian Rolle and Michael Boley for an all-division spot would have been puke-worthy.

Okay NFC East fans, the offseason is upon us, which means it's time to honor the players who were the best in 2011. Try to angle your voting towards performance in this season alone, giving extra weight to divisional games if you so choose.
In this poll we will vote for one kicker, one punter, one kick returner, and one punt returner. Pretty self-explanatory stuff here; it may be a minimizing facet of the game (especially kick returns) but it still exists, so vote it up.
Players are sorted by team (teams sorted by finish in the division this season). Each team's starting kicker and punter are represented, as well as the kick/punt returner(s) who returned the most kicks/punts this season for each team. (NOTE: Both Dez Bryant and Dwayne Harris returned 15 punts this season, but Bryant amassed more yards and gets the qualification.

In this poll we will vote for two cornerbacks and two safeties. Try not to read too much into the difference between free and strong safeties; these days they more often than not are nothing more than left vs. right safety, and can thus be fairly interchangeable, especially in the NFC East.
Players are sorted by team (teams sorted by finish in the division this season), and then by total snaps played during the regular season. Each team got four representatives in this poll: the two cornerbacks and two safeties who played the most defensive snaps this season.

Okay NFC East fans, the offseason is upon us, which means it's time to honor the players who were the best in 2011. Try to angle your voting towards performance in this season alone, giving extra weight to divisional games if you so choose.
In this poll we will vote for three linebackers. The decision to make the team's base defense a 4-3 creates complications regarding 3-4 personnel. Conversions were made based on a number of factors; if you have any questions about the 4-3 position a 3-4 player qualified for in this or the Defensive Line poll, please ask. Otherwise, the list of conversions for this poll is as follows:
-DeMarcus Ware (3-4 OLB) qualifies as a 4-3 WLB.
-Sean Lee (3-4 ILB) qualifies as a 4-3 MLB.
-Keith Brooking (3-4 ILB) qualifies as a 4-3 SLB.
-London Fletcher (3-4 ILB) qualifies as a 4-3 MLB.
-Rocky McIntosh (3-4 ILB) qualifies as a 4-3 SLB.
Players are sorted by team (teams sorted by finish in the division this season), and then by total snaps played during the regular season. For the 4-3 teams (Eagles and Giants), the three starters with the most snaps at each position qualified for the poll; for the 3-4 teams (Cowboys and Redskins), players who played the most snaps at each 3-4 position (2 DEs, 1 NT, 2 OLBs, 2 ILBs) qualified for this poll and the Defensive Line poll.

Wait is this only limited to NFC East fans?
Certainly not.

In this poll we will vote for five total offensive linemen, one at each position. Pretty self-explanatory here; we'll have to do some shuffling when it comes to defensive scheme, but all NFL teams still put five big guys on the line on offense.
Players are sorted by team (teams sorted by finish in the division this season). No minimum snap requirement for this poll; each team simply gets one representative: whoever notched the most snaps at each position.

In this poll we will vote for three wide receivers and one tight end. Typically we vote for two wide receivers and also for a fullback, but the NFL has changed. Just taking a look at the snap numbers reveals that slot receivers in the NFC East saw the field, on average, about twice as much as starting fullbacks. Other divisions have freedom with this "flex" spot, so other divisional polls may vote for a fullback or possibly two tight ends.
Players are sorted by team (teams sorted by finish in the division this season), and then by total snaps played during the regular season. Wide receivers with at least 500 offensive snaps qualified for the poll.

In this poll we will vote for one quarterback and two running backs. Pretty self-explanatory stuff here; it's not quite a two-quarterback league yet but it most certainly is a two-running back league, so be sure to check two of those guys. For an explanation on why there's no fullback this year, see the Receivers & Tight Ends topic.
Players are sorted by team (teams sorted by finish in the division this season), and then by total snaps played during the regular season. Running backs with at least 300 offensive snaps qualified for the poll.

If Ben were a diva, pretty sure we'd at the very least have some report about how Ben "wasn't happy" with the hiring of Haley. But we haven't.
-
Though I agree that Brady's pass to Welker was not in stride, Welker still got the ball in his hands and dropped it. Great receivers make that catch.
-
-
By that time I will be in baseball mode. Not right now, though.
That's what spring training is for. And if you need a transition, the playoff push for hockey begins right about now and the Daytona 500 is in a few weeks.
-
We have three running backs with 86 OVR or higher, our receiving corps lacks a true #1 or deep threat but is not a weakness, and the redshirt freshman who's replacing Cuda is an 89 OVR already.
I like our chances.
-
They need a deep threat. DeSean fills that void. A change of scenery might be good for him as well, but the Patriots should only do it at the right price.
-
If the Lions are tight on cap space, Stephen Tulloch will probably hit the open market, right?
Get 'em, Eagles.

A lot of people have referred to Peyton as being not only elite, but possibly the greatest QB of all time. Yet, he's always choked on his cock in the postseason. So, why the fuck does he get a pass?
And FWIW, Brady was pretty damn good last night. If Wes Welker doesn't choke and drop that pass, the game is most likely over and everyone is debating whether Brady is better than Joe Montana. Funny, there really isn't much of a difference between winning and losing most of the time. Just how the media and fans overreact after the wins and losses.
Who said anything about giving Peyton a pass? I've been one of the people who point out his postseason suckage more than anyone and do not consider him elite for the same reason.
As for why Brady was good but not good enough last night:
In two prior playoff games Tom Brady saw pressure on just 13 dropbacks, in Super Bowl XLVI he was pressured on 20 of his 43 drop backs and his QB rating plummeted from 122.0 with no pressure, including his two touchdowns, to 51.6 on plays where he was pressured....compared to...
For the game Manning was 12-for-14 on passes under pressure picking up an NFL QB rating of 105.4 and gaining nearly three yards more per attempt when he was pressured.
